Sleep Calculus

I am of the belief that one hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours after. That sure holds true in my lifestyle. If I sleep 9-midnight, I'm energized for the day--really! Typically I'll stay in bed and rest longer, but sometimes (about this time of year with hellish grading expectations) I sleep less and less.

When I was in college, I would visit my best friend in Hays, and he would not entertain the idea of sleep until nearly dawn (about when I typically get up). He would not let me sleep, either, until he was good and ready. Those visits about killed me.

Chalk it up to Ben Franklin (or whomever truly said it): Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. (I'd agree with healthy, anyway!)
